[KS] Korea Journal special issue – Liberation, 1945

[Henry Em]

Steven Hugh Lee notes that U.S. occupation policies in southern Korea from
1945 to 1948 and the establishment of an anti-communist Republic of Korea
were, in many respects, a continuation of U.S. military operations and
policies in the American Philippines during and after World War II. Given
such continuities, in what sense was August 15, 1945, a liberation?

To commemorate the event that took place eighty years ago, referred to as
*Gwangbok* - *gwangbok gumul*, the restoration of ancestral heritage - *Korea
Journal* is pleased to announce the publication of the special issue
"Liberation, 1945." This special issue features five research articles that
shed light on less-understood aspects of Korea's "liberation" from Japanese
colonial rule.
